Abstract
A system for providing a real-time indication of a location of the distal tip of a medical device in living tissue. The system may include an injection scanning printer that provides a visual indication of detected features to improve the injecting process. Safety needles configured to detect nerves, arteries, veins, or other physiological features upon needle placement but prior to injecting are also provided.
Claims14
A system for determining whether a medical device is within a blood vessel during a procedure, the system comprising:
- a needle comprising a distal tip;
- a hub at a proximal end of the needle, the hub comprising a sensor for detecting motion at the distal tip of the needle, the sensor configured to generate a signal based on the detected motion;
- and
- a processing unit configured to perform a process, the process comprising:
- comparing a frequency of the signal to a threshold value;
- and
- providing an indication of whether the distal tip of the needle is in the blood vessel based on the comparison between the frequency of the signal and the threshold value.
